Clowns cackle at the purple plume the global order is so unsteady. Others only see coming doom yet most think it's too late already. Two bombs were dropped on Japan humans always take things too far - laughing at acts one can't explain denying what fools they truly are. People are swayed by illusions heard howling at a crescent moon, fear drives them to false conclusions all too often and all too soon. Who knows when the third bomb will fall testing the odds against world war? Certainly it would end us all - we want clear heads to do much more.
